Recently I was contacted by Tres Belles Spa (105 Bond Street, Boerum Hill) and asked to write a review of their services as well as help them reach out to other moms. I went in for a facial, to check out the location, and to talk to Allison Tray, the owner. It was a tough job, but someone had to do it!
Petite, but perfect for moms in need of TLC!
Allison opened Tres Belle Petite Medi-Spa spa 6 years ago, although they just moved to their current location in December 09. When she moved in, she totally renovated the space – and though it is quite small, it manages to be serene, and certainly has enough room to do the job! I treated myself to a basic facial. It was very gentle and relaxing; I left feeling refreshed, and my skin was looking great. I’ve had a lot of facials where afterwords I look like I’ve been attacked by the esthetician, but this was not the case. She managed to do my extractions and leave my skin toned, polished, and glowing – but not red. To me, this is a big deal! I noticed when I was there that the owner and staff seem to know everyone who walks in the door. I am sure that this closeness with the clientele would lead to increasingly better service – after all, the better someone knows your skin, the better they can help take care of it. So, I am sure the more times I go back, the better the facials will be for me, and the more tailored they would be to my specific skin issues.
Get your facial + relaxation here - you know you deserve it!
I talked with Alison a little to find out more about her business and the services they offer. It turns out that Tres Belle is a family business, run by Alison and her Dad (aww!) She says, “My family had always had family businesses so it was a natural progression that my Dad and I ended up working together. We have always been close and my Dad has a really great sense for business and I love helping people feel confident.”
I asked her why she was reaching out to moms specifically, and she smartly answered, “Moms often forget that it’s important to take a break even if it’s once a month. Many clients and friends are Moms and when they come to Tres Belle it’s like they can have a bit of their sense of self back. Moms give on a constant basis and it feels great to be able to provide them with much needed attention, not to mention adult conversation!” So true – and that is one of the main reasons I wanted to write about this on Mommy FTW – I know I don’t give myself enough time to relax, and do things just for me. So I hope that I can encourage some of you to spend some time on yourselves! If I have to bribe you with discounts, then so be it!
Tres Belle is apparently well known for its laser hair removal – something I’ve always been curious about, but admittedly know nothing of. “We were honored to have been voted Best Laser Hair Removal in NYC on Citysearch for 2009 [ we also won in 2006, 2007, and 2008]!” Allison bragged – and rightly so. That is quite an honor! “Our most popular package is definitely our Bikini Package. Moms never know when a day at the beach or pool is going to sneak up on them. With all the things you need to do to just get out the door, your bikini area should be a non-issue. Most clients require 10 visits to get to a permanent reduction of up to 85-90% but see results and skin improvement with just a few sessions.” Personally, I think I might be sold on this one. I am not a fan of the bikini wax, and not having to plan ahead for time at the pool would be fantastic.
So, for those moms who need to be pampered a little (which I am assuming is ALL of you!!) I encourage you to check out Tres Belles Petite Medi-Spa – it’s just on the other side of Flatbush pretty close to the Dekalb Ave train station. FYI – if you are looking for some more opinions before you book, then check out their reviews on City Search – they are positively glowing!
Allison has kindly offered Mommy FTW readers some discounts : $25 off any facial plus every facial will include a free add-on of hand massage, and 10% off all laser packages. Just mention “Cameron” when you book your service. Pampering at a discount? Who can resist that!? Give them a call and book yourself an appointment – You deserve it, and you won’t be disappointed!

And, although not shopping related, still some good news from ING Direct – they are going to have a special savings rate for Black Friday. I will most likely sign up for a new CD (or whatever they offer). We got Cameron a Savings account with ING because they have the best rate around. Be sure to check them out on Friday to see what the rate is!
